I’m so glad that Golden has joined the headphone show team. This channel keeps getting better and better! Audio nerds rejoice! 🎉

[vianhoho]

I'm here for GoldenSound's Golden Voice LOL. So happy seeing him being recruited to the team. Definitely looking forward to his reviews in the future

[Doegiz]

Wow nice to see another great audio reviewer join the group. He's among the best at explaining the characteristics and differences between DACs especially among others. These reviews lead me to believe this device may easily compare well against my Bifrost 2, but in a much smaller package, so I'd love to try this out some day.

I have personally found @Goldensound “the best of the best”- his stand alone videos on the Holo Audio products were the most important, clear and convincing of any I heard and the most influential on my purchase decisions. I miss his finger snaps between the segments though! But agree- recruiting him to this team is fantastic. Like the other HEADPHONE SHOW reviewers, he has a really convincing balance between the objective and subjective.

Wow one of my top 3 reviewer joined Headphone show. This channel is just another level with this squad. Thanks guys!

Love the intro and changeover to Golden! Really creative!
Review is informative and I really like how comprehensive it is, including the Poly, Roon endpoint functionality and Xduoo BT adapter information.

Having owned the Mojo 2 for half a year (and a Hugo 2) I noticed a few details which could be missed or misunderstood.
Battery life is 8h, cross-feed on the M2 is doing more than just mixing channels, it is also considering the transmission of different frequencies around the head, thus making cross-feed sound warmer, and it would be worth mentioning that the EQ implementation is supposedly the first completely lossless EQ implementation.

The impressions of the Qutest VS Mojo 2 were surprising, since Qutest and Hugo 2 should sound very similar and Hugo 2 has noticably more detail, definition, texture, speed, imaging focus, layering and soundstage depth. Not sure what happened there, but it would be absolutely great to get a comparison review of the Mojo 2 vs the Hugo 2

Thanks @ Golden! Looking forward to seeing more reviews!

So excited to see GoldenSound in the team. Can't wait for Ferrum Oor, Forge and Holo Bliss Review??? Impatiently waiting for these.
Got the Holo Spring 3 KTE and was the best audio purchase I have ever made in my headphone/audio journey thanks to this man.

[carbon_wavelight]

What a pleasant surprise! Looking forward to that Rebel Amp review

[Raul.Sharma]

This is the review I was waiting for. Thanks 🙏🏻

[PrisOwner]

Oh my lord, Golden has now also joined the team, yes! I just love that man's silky smooth voice (and also enjoy his reviews).

Happy to see GoldenSound here, but missed seeing his review style on his own channel.

[MisterChibs]

Nice review! Crazy coincidence - I used Polyphia’s “Playing god” as one of the tracks to compare Mojo 2 to the ifi iDSD signature in my YT review. Came to a very similar conclusion as well. It’s an amazing dac/amp!
I feel the Poly is overpriced but now that I use Roon, I’m so tempted to pick one up. Great work!!🍻

[thomasdenaples]

So pleased to see Golden on the Headphone Show. I’ve always looked forward to his
stellar reviews. Now that Holo Audio’s Bliss has arrived, I’m hopeful that Golden will be doing a review of this amp. I’m itching to buy this long-awaited amp but am waiting to hear from Golden since he first broke the news on the Bliss’s upcoming arrival.

[Ivan-ksix]

Love the Mojo 2. I use it in so many different applications, and I really appreciate its broad feature set and use cases. It’s got enough power to drive speakers to reasonable volume too. I decided to gamble on it after hearing Rob Watts explain and promise less fatigue. I’ve found I’m sensitive to most digital audio but not the Mojo 2, EQ is a blessing to that end too!

[mden]

Thanks so much for the video. I have always listened to the mojo 2 via my iPhone, but have now decided to use it connected with my Mackbook air 2/ desktop. Which brand of usb c to usb c would you recommend for connecting? Do you like audio quest cables?

[guystpierrecomposer]

Very nice review! Good to see you :) I use mojo2 in desktop mode being fed by the digital output of a cheap AirPort Express. It is limited to 24/48 in that setup, but sound really good! (Way better than Bluetooth)

[Jimwa]

I really enjoyed your review! You are my new Equipment reviewer

[YTHandlesWereAMistake]

I absolutely love GoldenSound and was waiting for the announcement since Resolve dropped the "those in the Discord might already know" line.
That said, as a owner of Mojo 1 who unscrewed it, took battery out and uses regular usb power instead for the improvised "desktop" mode, I'm not sure whether I'd benefit from switching to Mojo 2.
I'm also worried about the noise floor, which isn't that low on the original mojo, especially when using very sensitive IEMs.

[PrimeHiFi]

So happy to see Cam join the crew. Hell yeah!

[mcdirt]

Nice review, thanks. I have the Mojo2 and the S9 - I use the Mojo as a desktop and the S9 when out and about. I use SONY IER M9 or Moondrop KATO (seen at the end of your video?) with the Mojo. I have played with the Equalizer and found +6 +4 -3 +6 ok for the KATO - wonder what you use? I had to go to +7 +5 -2 -2 for the SONY which is sometimes too much. Thanks.
